American Independence Corp. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1.    Significant Accounting Policies and Practices

(A)	Business and Organization

American Independence Corp. ("AMIC") is a holding company engaged in the insurance and reinsurance business through its wholly-owned insurance company, Independence American Insurance Company ("Independence American"), formerly First Standard Security Insurance Company, and its managing general underwriter subsidiaries: IndependenceCare Holdings L.L.C. and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as "IndependenceCare"); Risk Assessment Strategies, Inc. ("RAS") and Voorhees Risk Management LLC d.b.a. Marlton Risk Group ("Marlton"). IndependenceCare, RAS and Marlton are collectively referred to as the "MGU Subsidiaries".

On April 22, 2003, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Independence Holding Company completed its tender for one million shares of the common stock of the Company.  As a result of the tender, the subsidiary owns approximately 32% of the Company.

(B)	Principles of Consolidation and Preparation of Financial Statements.

The financial information included herein is unaudited, however, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, except as otherwise noted) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, and the consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the interim periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. Additionally, certain reclassifications have been made to prior period financial statements in order to conform to the current period presentation.



The Company has changed its fiscal year end from September 30 to December 31. As a result, the Company filed a Form 10-QT for the quarter ended December 31, 2002 representing the transitional reporting period. This report on Form 10-Q for the six months ended June 30, 2003 represents the second fiscal quarter of the new fiscal year ending December 31, 2003. Accordingly, the information for the six months ended June 30, 2002 (as restated for discontinued operations and designated at the time of the original SEC reporting as the third fiscal quarter) is included herein for comparative purposes.  The Company's tax year remains unchanged at September 30.

American Independence Corp.'s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002, as amended and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

(C) Stock-Based Compensation and Change in Accounting Principle

In November 2002, the Company adopted certain provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation"("SFAS 123"). SFAS 123 established a fair-value-based method of accounting for stock-based compensation plans. Pursuant to the transition provisions of SFAS 123, the Company will apply the fair value method of accounting to all option grants issued on or after October 1, 2002. The fair value method will not be applied to stock option awards granted prior to October 1, 2002. Such awards will continue to be accounted for under the intrinsic value method pursuant to APB 25, except to the extent those prior years' awards are modified subsequent to October 1, 2002. The Company recorded an expense of approximately $58,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 related to the issuance of approximately 53,000 options issued under the fair value based method. The remaining $18,000 of non-cash compensation expense relates to options issued under the intrinsic value method pursuant to APB 25.

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure".  As permitted by SFAS No. 148, the Company has elected to prospectively account for all stock option grants issued on or after October 1, 2002, under the fair value based method.  As part of the election to prospectively account for all stock option grants under the fair value based method, the Company is permitted to continue accounting for all stock option grants issued before October 1, 2002, under the intrinsic value method. Under the fair value based method, stock compensation costs for stock option grants is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award, and such cost is recognized as an expense over vesting period of the stock option grant.  Under the intrinsic value method, compensation expense is recognized for stock options issued with an exercise price less than the stock's fair value on the date of grant and such expense is recognized over the vesting period.

Had the Company applied the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation awards issued prior to October 1, 2002, net income and net income per share for the three months and the six months ended June 30, 2003, and 2002 would have been as follows:

2.	Income Per Common Share



Included in the diluted earnings per share calculation for 2003 for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2003 are 66,000 and 53,000 shares from the assumed exercise of options using the treasury stock method. Net income does not change as a result of the assumed dilution of options.  Options were not included in the 2002 diluted earnings per share calculation as the result would be anti-dilutive.



3.	Discontinued Operations

Prior to becoming an insurance holding company as a result of the acquisition of Independence American Holdings Corp. ("IAHC") on November 14, 2002, the Company was a holding company principally engaged in providing Internet services through the following discontinued operations, Intelligent Communications, Inc. ("Intellicom"), Aerzone Corporation ("Aerzone"), ISP Channel, Inc. ("ISP Channel"), Kansas Communications, Inc. ("KCI"), and Micrographic Technology Corporation ("MTC").The operating results of these discontinued operations have been segregated from continuing operations and are reported as a loss from discontinued operations on the consolidated statements of operations.  Although it is difficult to predict the final results, the loss on disposition from discontinued operations includes management's estimates of costs to wind down the business and costs to settle its outstanding liabilities.  The actual results could differ materially from these estimates. The estimated loss on disposition reserve of all discontinued operations is reflected in net liabilities associated with discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Discontinued Operations of Intelligent Communications, Inc. ("Intellicom")

On March 29, 2002, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Intellicom, entered into an agreement to sell its operating business and certain assets to Loral Cyberstar, Inc.  Following the sale of its operating business and certain assets to Loral Cyberstar, Inc., the Company's Board of Directors unanimously agreed to cease the operations of Intellicom on April 3, 2002. Due principally to the Company's guaranty of Intellicom's lease for its facility in Livermore, California, the Company has a remaining reserve for discontinued operations of Intellicom of $1,142,000 for this liability at June 30, 2003.

Discontinued Operations of Aerzone Corporation ("Aerzone")

On January 24, 2000, the Company founded Aerzone (formerly SoftNet Zone, Inc.) to provide high-speed Internet access to global business travelers. As part of the Aerzone business, the Company acquired Laptop Lane, on April 21, 2000. On December 19, 2000, the Company decided to discontinue the Aerzone business in light of significant long-term capital needs and the difficulty of securing the necessary financing because of the current state of the financial markets.  The Company has a remaining reserve for discontinued operations of Aerzone of $75,000 at June 30, 2003.

Discontinued Operations of ISP Channel, Inc. ("ISP Channel")

On December 7, 2000, the Company's Board of Directors approved a plan to discontinue providing cable-based Internet services through its ISP Channel subsidiary by December 31, 2000, because consolidation in the cable television industry made it difficult for ISP Channel to achieve the economies of scale necessary to provide such services profitably, and the Company was no longer able to bear the costs of maintaining the ISP Channel.  The Company has a remaining reserve of $156,000 at June 30, 2003 relating to the discontinued operations of ISP Channel.



Discontinued Operations of Micrographic Technology Corporation ("MTC")

As a result of an arbitration decision related to the sale of MTC to Global Information Distribution GmbH ("GID"), the Company has a remaining reserve of $49,000 relating to the loss on disposition of MTC at June 30, 2003 (see Note 6). The loss relates to the arbitration award plus related expenses. MTC was previously owned by the Company, and was sold to GID on September 30, 1999.



Discontinued Operations of Kansas Communications, Inc ("KCI")

As a result of the February 12, 1999 sale of the assets of the telecommunications segment, KCI, to Convergent Communications Services, Inc. ("Convergent Communications"), the Company has a remaining reserve of $316,000 relating to the loss on disposition of KCI at June 30, 2003.  The loss primarily relates to additional state taxes for periods prior to the sale of KCI to Convergent Communications.

Gain (loss) from discontinued operations is as follows (in thousands):

The total purchase price of approximately $35,755,000 consists of the $31,920,000 cash paid to IHC, and $3,835,000 of direct transaction costs. Direct transaction costs include fees to Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc. of $1,880,000.

Under the purchase method of accounting, the total estimated purchase price is allocated to IAHC's net tangible and intangible assets based on their estimated fair values as of the date of the completion of the acquisition.  Based on anindependent valuation, the estimated purchase price is allocated as follows (in thousands):





|Assets:                                               |        |         
|----------------------------------------------------- | ------ | --------
|Tangible assets                                       | $      | 31,461  
|Amortizable broker/TPA relationships intangible asset | 1,900 
|Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives  | 12,395
|Net deferred tax asset                                | 6,616 
|Liabilities                                           |        | (16,617)

Of the total purchase price, $31,461,000 has been allocated to net tangible assets acquired and $1,900,000 has been allocated to amortizable intangible assets acquired.  The depreciation and amortization related to the fair value adjustment to net tangible assets and the amortization related to the amortizable intangible assets are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations. The intangible asset will be written off over the next five years based on the respective discounted cash flows.

Of the total purchase price, approximately $12,395,000 has been allocated to goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives.  Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of an acquired business over the fair value of the underlying net tangible and intangible assets.  Intangible assets with indefinite lives consist of the estimated fair value allocated to the licenses of Independence American Insurance Company.



Marlton

On February 10, 2003, but effective as of January 1, 2003, the Company acquired 80% of the business of an employer medical stop-loss MGU and an affiliated entity (the "Acquired MGUs").

Marlton Risk Group ("Marlton") into which the Acquired MGUs contributed all of their assets, and the Company contributed $16,000,000 cash for an 80% ownership interest.  The Company's cash contribution was then distributed to the Acquired MGUs together with the remaining 20% interest in Marlton, and Marlton assumed all of the liabilities of the Acquired MGUs. Under certain circumstances set forth in the Limited Liability Company Agreement of Marlton, the Company has the right and/or obligation to purchase some or all of the minority interests in Marlton. The total purchase price of approximately $16,102,000 consists of $16,000,000 of cash and $102,000 of estimated direct transaction costs.

10.   Segment Information

As a result of the Company's Board of Directors decision to discontinue the last of its former business segments in April 2002, segment information for all periods prior to the acquisition of IAHC has been restated.  Management has reclassified its segment information to show its direct insurance operation separately from its MGU operations, which is how management currently reviews its operations.  Segment information is as follows:

11.   Reverse Split



On February 13, 2003, the shareholders of the Company voted in favor of a one-for-three reverse stock split. The purpose of the reverse stock split was to increase the Company's stock price to over $5.00 per share in order to avoid a delisting of the Company's common stock from the Nasdaq National Market. Although currently listed on the NASDAQ National Market, the Company was required to comply with NASDAQ's initial listing requirements because of the discontinuation of its prior business and acquisition of its current insurance operations.  The effect of the reverse split has been reflected in all periods in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.



12.   Consent Solicitation

The holders of a majority of the Company's Common Stock of record on July 1, 2003 executed written consents in lieu of a meeting of stockholders to amend the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Registrant to decrease the number of authorized shares of capital stock to 15,001,000.  The Company filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware a Certificate of Amendment to the Company's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation on July 15, 2003.

13.   New Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities" ("SFAS 146") which addresses costs associated with an exit activity (including restructuring) or with disposal of long-lived assets. Those activities can include eliminating or reducing product lines, terminating employees and contracts, and relocating plant facilities and personnel. The provisions of SFAS 146 will not supersede the accounting requirements for costs to restructure operations acquired in a business combination. Under SFAS 146, companies are required to record a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity when that liability is incurred and can be measured at fair value. The new requirements are effective prospectively for exit and disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The adoption of SFAS 146 effective as of January 1, 2003 did not have an effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.



In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others" ("FIN 45").  This interpretation requires that certain disclosures be made by a guarantor in its financial statements about its obligations under guarantees, effective for financial statements for periods ending after December 15, 2002.  FIN 45 also requires the recognition, at fair value, of a liability by a guarantor at the inception of certain guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002.   FIN 45 did not have an effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.



In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" ("FIN 46"). This interpretation provides guidance on the identification of entities controlled through means other than voting rights.  FIN 46 specifies how a business enterprise should evaluate its interests in a variable interest entity to determine whether to consolidate that entity.  A variable interest entity must be consolidated by its primary beneficiary if the entity does not effectively disperse risks among the parties involved. A public company with a variable interest in an entity created before February 1, 2003 must apply FIN 46 in the first interim or annual period beginning after June 15, 2003.  The adoption of FIN 46

In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS  No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 149"). SFAS 149 amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". SFAS 149 will be effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003.   The Company adopted SFAS 149 on July 1, 2003.  The adoption of SFAS 149 did not have an effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

On May 15, 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity" ("SFAS 150"). SFAS 150 requires issuers to classify as liabilities (or assets in some circumstance) three classes of freestanding financial instruments that embody obligations for the issuer. Generally, SFAS 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and is otherwise effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 150 on July 1, 2003.  The adoption of SFAS 150 did not have an effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

On February 10, 2003, but effective as of January 1, 2003, the Company acquired 80% of the business of an employer medical stop-loss MGU and an affiliated entity (the "Acquired MGUs"). The acquisition was accomplished by the formation of Marlton into which the Acquired MGUs contributed all of their assets, and the Company contributed $16,000,000 cash for an 80% ownership interest.  The Company's cash contribution was then distributed to the Acquired MGUs together with the remaining 20% interest in Marlton, and Marlton assumed all of the liabilities of the Acquired MGUs.

Discontinued



Prior to becoming an insurance holding company as a result of the acquisition of Independence American Holdings Corp. on November 14, 2002, the Company was a holding company principally engaged in providing Internet services through the following discontinued operations, Intelligent Communications, Inc. ("Intellicom"), Aerzone Corporation ("Aerzone"), ISP Channel, Inc. ("ISP Channel"), Kansas Communications, Inc. ("KCI"), and Micrographic Technology Corporation ("MTC"). The loss on disposition from discontinued operations includes management's estimates of costs to wind down the business and costs to settle its outstanding liabilities.



Critical Accounting Policies



The preparation of consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of the revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  The Company believes the following critical accounting policies are significantly affected by judgments, assumptions and estimates used in preparation of its   consolidated financial statements.  For a detailed discussion on the application of these and other accounting policies, see Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002.



Discontinued Operations



The Company accounts for discontinued operations in accordance to Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30 ("APB 30"), Reporting the Results of Operations - Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions.  Under APB 30, the Company accrued estimates of expected liabilities related to discontinued operations through its eventual discharge.  The estimated remaining liabilities related to discontinued operations include contract terminations, litigation and loss from operations subsequent to June 30, 2003.  The Company reviews the estimated closure costs liability on a quarterly basis to determine changes in the costs of the discontinued operations activities.



Restructuring Expense



The Company recorded restructuring expenses related to an approved plan to reduce corporate headquarters staff and to relocate its corporate offices in conjunction with discontinuing the Aerzone, ISP Channel and Intellicom businesses.  These restructuring expenses are based on estimates of the expected costs associated with employee severance, lease terminations, professional fees and facility relocation.  The Company reviews the estimated restructuring costs accrual on a quarterly basis to determine changes in the costs of the restructuring activities.



Impairment of Long-lived Assets



The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever current events or changes in circumstances, as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 ("SFAS 144"), Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets, indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable based on expected undiscounted cash flows attributable to that asset.  The amount of any impairment is measured as the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the impaired asset.

Goodwill

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Asset

Premium and MGU Fee Income Revenue Recognition



Premiums from short-duration contracts will be recognized as revenue over the period of the contracts in proportion to the amount of insurance protection provided.  The Company records MGU fee income as policy premium payments are earned.



Investments



The Company accounts for its investments in debt and equity securities under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 ("SFAS 115"), Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.The Company has classified all of its investments as available-for-sale securities.  These investments are carried at fair value based on quoted market prices with unrealized gains and losses reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the accompanying   consolidated balance sheets.  Net realized gains and losses on investments are computed using the specific identification method and are reported in net realized gain, (losses) in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.  Declines in value judged to be other-than-temporary are determined based on the specific identification method and are reported in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations as net realized gains (losses).



Reserves



Liabilities for future insurance policy benefits on short-term medical coverages were computed using completion factors and expected loss ratios derived from actual historical premium and claim data. These methods are widely used in the health insurance industry to estimate the liabilities for future insurance policy benefits. Inherent in these calculations are management and actuarial judgments and estimates (within industry standards) which could significantly impact the ending reserve liabilities and, consequently, operating results. Actual results may differ, and these estimates are subject to interpretation and change. Management believes that the Company's method of estimating the liabilities for future insurance policy benefits provides a reasonably accurate level of reserves at June 30, 2003.

Income Taxes



Loss from Discontinued Operations. As a result of the decision by the Board of Directors to discontinue the operations of Intellicom on March 29, 2002, the loss on operations for the six months ended June 30, 2002 of $901,000 has been reclassified as loss from discontinued operations.

Gain (Loss) on Disposition.

The gain in 2003 is primarily attributable to lower than expected interest and expenses with regard to the arbitration award on MTC, offset by additional reserves on Intellicom related to the lease obligations of the Livermore facility.

Liquidity and Capital Resources



Independence American Insurance Company



IAIC principally derives cash flow from: (i) operations; (ii) the receipt of scheduled principal payments on its portfolio of fixed income securities; and (iii) earnings on investments. Such cash flow is partially used to finance liabilities for insurance policy benefits and reinsurance obligations. These liabilities represent long-term and short-term obligations which are calculated using certain assumed interest rates.



Corporate



Corporate principally derives cash flow funds principally from: dividends from its subsidiaries and investment income from Corporate liquidity. There are no regulatory constraints on the MGU Subsidiaries' ability to dividend to the parent company, however, state insurance laws have provisions relating to the ability of IAIC to dividend to the parent company.



As of June 30, 2003, the Company had $32,909,000 in cash, cash equivalents, and investments net of amounts due to brokers compared with $44,591,000 as of December 31, 2002.



Net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $6,452,000.  These results from net income of $4,006,000 from continuing operations,



Net cash used by investing activities of continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $5,233,000.  This use of cash results from the acquisition of Marlton for $16,102,000, net, and net cash provided of $10,869,000 from sale of all other investments, net of purchases.



Net cash provided by financing activities from continuing operations was $109,000 resulting from the exercise of common stock options for the six months ended June 30, 2003.



The Company believes it has sufficient cash to meet its currently anticipated business requirements over the next twelve months including the funding of discontinued operations, working capital requirements, and capital investments. The Company expects continued reductions in cash usages from its discontinued operations for the remainder of the year ending December 31, 2003.



Item 3.	Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk



Risk Management

The Company manages interest rate risk by seeking to maintain a portfolio with a duration and average life that falls within the band of the duration and average life of the applicable liabilities, and may utilize options to modify the duration and average life of such assets.



The Company monitors its investment portfolio on a continuous basis and believes that the liquidity of Independence American will not be adversely affected by its current investments. This monitoring includes the maintenance of an asset-liability model that matches current insurance liability cash flows with current investment cash flows.



The expected change in fair value as a percentage of the Company's fixed income portfolio at June 30, 2003, given a 100 to 300 basis point rise or decline in interest rates is not material.  In the Company's analysis of the asset-liability model, a 100 to 300 basis point change in interest rates on the liabilities of Independence American would not be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company. With respect to its liabilities, if interest rates were to increase, the risk to the Company is minimal as there are no interest rate exposures on liabilities. If interest rates were to decrease substantially, the risk to the Company is that some of its investment assets would be subject to early redemption. This is not a material exposure because the Company would have additional gains in its portfolio to help offset the future reduction of investment income. With respect to its investments, the Company employs (from time to time as warranted) investment strategies to mitigate interest rate and other market exposures.







Item 4.  Controls and Procedures



The Company's management, including its President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14 of the Exchange Act.  Based on that evaluation, each of the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer has concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures at June 30, 2003 are effective in ensuring that all material information required to be filed in this quarterly report has been made known in a timely fashion.  During the quarter ended June 30, 2003, there have been no significant changes in internal controls over financial reporting, or in factors that could significantly affect internal controls over financial reporting.
